  • Publication number: 20240383241
    Abstract: Multi-layer films, and processes to make the films, that enable the delivery of a substrate featuring a peelable thin layer of low haze, amorphous, isotropic film with the desired properties of high modulus, high usage temperature, UV blockage, and toughness. The films are made using a co-extrusion, co-orientation and annealing process to enable the delivery of a thin isotropic, UV blocking layer on top of a release layer and support substrate. These film constructions can be kept together during additional processing steps such as coating and converting. The release and dimensionally stable substrate layer can be easily removed once processing steps are completed.

  • Patent number: 12031165
    Abstract: Disclosed is a double enzyme tandem preparation method of L-2-aminobutyric acid, and belongs to the field of bioengineering. In the disclosure, recombinant Escherichia coli expressing L-glutamate mutase and recombinant Escherichia coli expressing L-aspartate-?-decarboxylase are separately cultured to obtain L-glutamate mutase and L-aspartate-?-decarboxylase. The two enzymes are added to a reaction system at a certain mass ratio, and L-glutamate is used as a substrate to carry out an enzyme reaction to prepare the L-2-aminobutyric acid. When the dosage of the L-aspartate-?-decarboxylase is 2 mg/mL, and the reaction time is 24 h, 8.5 mmol/L L-2-aminobutyric acid is produced by conversion, with a molar conversion rate of 85.00%. Compared with a chemical production method, the method disclosed by the disclosure has a safe production process and no environmental pollution. Compared with a multi-enzyme synthesis system with threonine as a substrate, the substrate is cheaper and the process is simpler.
